Thanks for all the wonderful responses. I'd thought of making a American Sign Language library of hand and body poses that could be shared with others. I wanted to do more than just the alphabet. With that in mind, I think it would be of most benefit to use "standard" figures such as "Dork" (P4 male) or "Posette" (P4 female). That is the general idea. Obviously it would be a major undertaking. Heck I haven't even started the class yet. The "altruistic" part of me would consider doing the project as a freebie. But then this might also be a way for me to finally "go commercial." Either way you look at it, such a project might be easier if done with a partner or partners. The question remains how this would be done. I do have access to the "Joy of Signing," (our textbook for the upcoming course), and "The Galladet Survival Guide to Signing." Decades ago, two valued friends were "Hearing Impaired," and they were the inspiration for one of my life's goals to finally learn sign language. Alas, my friends moved elsewhere. Last I'd heard they wanted to return to Galladet for some reason, perhaps to teach.
